THE EFFECT OF LUČKO CTR UPPER LIMIT EXTENSION ON AIR TRAFFIC INDICATORS IN ZAGREB TMA –A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS

The number of air traffic operations and airspace users increase every year. Current airspace organization mostly keeps apart IFR commercial air traffic within terminal control areas from VFR general aviation traffic within control zones or uncontrolled airspace.In this paper a preliminary analysis of the effect of Lučko CTR upper limit extension on air traffic indicators in Zagreb TMA was investigated using EUROCONTROL NEST application for traffic sample from summer period of 2017. Several scenarios were created and simulated with Lučko CTR upper limit extension and air traffic indicators in Zagreb TMA calculated using NEST Scenario Economy.Results obtained from simulations showed that daily only few aircraft were affected by the upper limit change which gave expected negative values of flight time and distance, fuel consumption and CO2 and NOX emissions. In the end, some additional issues were discussed for further research.
